Add a thumb-board to any UMPC

Samsung really ratcheted up the thumb-board/ no thumb-board debate with the introduction of the Ultra Q1 UMPC.  The unique split thumb-board certainly has birthed many debates over the utility that tiny keyboards bring to the UMPC platform.  One thing that these debates seems to verify is that when you really need a little keyboard it’s great to have one handy.  The folks at Freedom feel the same way and have released the Freedom Mini Duo Bluetooth keyboard, a keyboard that folds up to the size of a credit card.  The theory is if your UMPC (or other Bluetooth-enabled device) doesn’t have a thumb-board and you need to tap out some text you can simply pull this baby out of your pocket or bag and have an instant keyboard available.  The design of the Freedom thumb-board seems perfect for two-handed thumb input so it may even be more useful than the split design of the Samsung Ultra.  It will set you back GBP50, or about $100.
